Strengths

- “The school successfully prioritises developing pupils’ self-esteem, resilience and confidence so that they are ready to re-engage with their education.”
- “Taking their cue from the staff around them, pupils learn to be highly respectful and polite.”
To improve
- “The school is in the process of further refining this information in some subjects, particularly for older pupils.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school has not clearly defined the order in which pupils learn new knowledge.”
- “This makes it harder for pupils to connect new information to what they already know.”
